Catrice: Holo In One

Catrice: Holo In One

Sea green holographic

Did you know that Catrice made a collection of holographic polishes? It's about 6 years ago and they sold out fast.

Today I'm wearing one of them, "Holo In One". It's a really pretty sea green holo. The formula is a bit patchy at first but the second coat takes care of all irregularities. The drying time is really good.

I made two pink stripes on each nail to keep my nail art simple.

Here's how pretty "Holo In one" is:

The holographic isn't in your face, but it's pretty nonetheless.

Mystery Polish: Lillian

Mystery Polish: Lillian

Described as a clear base packed with multichrome flakes of purple to blue to gold olive and holo glitters & blue micro glitters

"Lillian" will probably work on its own, but I decided to layer it anyway, because I often like the result of layering better.

So I applied one coat of Golden Rose's Matte Velvet #107. It's a gorgeous purple shimmer and it's not a one coater, but I only used one coat today because I was using it as underwear.

I applied one layer of "Lillian" over the purple.

Then I wanted even more bling. I applied a layer of China Glaze's silver/holo glitter topper "Techno".

I applied a couple of star silver stickers on top of that, but my nails were so blingy at this point, that the stars were barely visible.

 
But anyway, here it all is:

I love this bling!

Here's one coat of the flakie "Lillian" over the purple Golden Rose Matte Velvet #107.

This is one coat of Golden Rose Matte Velvet #107.

I really like the outcome of all the blinginess today.

Number of coats: 1 coat over a coloured base

Essence: It Wasn't Me!

Essence: It Wasn't Me!

Greyish base with purple microglitter, textured

"It Wasn't Me" is from Essence's "Good Girl Bad Girl" collection, which I believe is from 2015. It says "Glitter Effect" on the sticker on the lid, and that apparently means that it's a textured polish as well.

The formula is good and easy to work with. I used two coats for my nails today. The drying time was average.

The colour is leaning too grey to be my colour, so I added a coral coloured stamp to it. The stamping design is from the stamping plate "BeautyBigBang XL-017". I stamped with Colour Alike's stamping polish "Tainted Love".

Here's the final result, including a layer of topcoat.

I like the stamp on this.

This is "It Wasn't Me!" alone, two coats alone and no topcoat yet.

Essence: It Wasn't Me!

This is the stuff I used today.

"It Wasn't Me" isn't me at all. The formula and the effect is good, but the colour isn't spot on for me. It's was more grey on the nails than it looks in the bottle.

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Average

Finish: Glitter/texture
Overall impression: Nice effect and formula

Blue with holographic microglitter

I'm wearing a lovely blue from Miss Sporty today. The colour is really nice and I like the added holo microglitters a lot.

The formula seems sheer on the first coat but it builds up in two coats. The drying time is good.

I added simple silver nail stickers to keep it simple.

Here's the final result including a layer of topcoat.

Isn't this just pretty?
